The ADEME's foresight exercise 'Vision 2030-2050' - Technical document

This prospective study aims at developing a transverse approach for all the consumption and production sectors, at strongly reducing the French energy dependence, at proposing improvements of energy services, of household life quality (notably for the poorest), and at ensuring a steady and lasting legal and economic framework for enterprises while maintaining the French industrial tool and developing a green industry. The first part addresses today's and tomorrow's energetic, environmental, social, local and economic challenges. The second part, Vision 2030, proposes a voluntarist scenario of management of energy consumption, and of development of the renewable supply (an ambitious policy in favour of energy consumption management, a diversified and sustainable energy supply). The third part, Vision 2050, proposes a normative approach which complies with the 'factor 4' objective (a less wasted and better valorised energy, use of energy resources leading to energy independence and environmental neutrality). The last part addresses the issue of evolution of air quality over the considered period
